The Hunger Games Prequel Announced At CinemaCon Posted: 28 Apr 2022 09:18 PM PDT The Hunger Games prequel now has a release date. Lionsgate today revealed at the end of their CinemaCon presentation that The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, a Hunger Games prequel, officially reaches theaters on November 17, 2023. The original movies aka sequels, Catching Fire, Mockingjay Part One, and Mockingjay Part Two, all debuted in the pre-Thanksgiving period. It seems the Hunger Games prequel is coming sooner than we might expect. Collins originally planned to write only three novels, but she later expanded the world of Panem with a prequel novel. The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, scheduled for release in 2020, follows a youthful Coriolanus Snow (played in the original movies by Donald Sutherland), the main antagonist of The Hunger Games films. In 2017, Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer showed a desire for the Hunger Games spinoffs for the first time. Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chairman Joe Drake declared in 2019 that the corporation was collaborating with Collins on the adaptation of the then-unreleased Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. The movie adaptation's ready to begin production in April 2020, one month prior to the book’s official launch. Who is Working In The Prequel?Francis Lawrence, the director of Catching Fire, Mockingjay: Part 1, and Mockingjay: Part 2, returns to direct The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Michael Arndt wrote the prequel film based on a story modification by Collins. Collins also co-produces the film with Nina Jacobson who produced the original Hunger Games adaptations. Another individual involved in the production is Brad Simpson. While no casting knowledge is out at this time, Variety reported that The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is in the works. Suzanne Collins and Tim Palen work as EPs too. The prequel to the massively popular franchise takes place years before the original films. We see the 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow, who would rise to become Panem’s tyrant. When the young Snow becomes a mentor to Lucy Gray Baird, the tribute from lowly District 12, he seizes the opportunity for a transformation of circumstance. DreamWorks Animation’s Trolls World 3 and Paramount’s John Krasinski-directed Ryan Reynolds film are competitions the prequel Hunger Games movie has to beat if are both set to open on November 17 of next year. Judging from the huge fandom and how the original movies did, we expect the prequel to do well, regardless. The Hunger Games Movies Have Become Part of the Mainstream Movie CultureThe Hunger Games film series is a collection of Sci-Fi post-apocalyptic adventure movies based on Suzanne Collins’ trilogy. The movies are from novels of the same name. Lionsgate distributes the films, and production gets handled by Nina Jacobson and Jon Kilik. Jennifer Lawrence stars as Katniss Everdeen and Josh Hutcherson is Peeta Mellark. Liam Hemsworth is Gale Hawthorne, Woody Harrelson is Haymitch Abernathy, and Elizabeth Banks is Effie Trinket. Other big names present in the franchise are Stanley Tucci as Caesar Flickerman and Donald Sutherland as President Snow. We know that the first movies broke box office records. The Hunger Games (2012) broke records for the best opening day and weekend for a non-sequel motion picture. Catching Fire (2013) set a new record for the greatest November launch weekend. Mockingjay – Part 1 (2014) had the year’s biggest opening day and weekend. The themes of the franchise as well as Jennifer Lawrence’s acting as Katniss were lauded by critics and fans alike. Now, we get to have a new entry into this respected young-adult franchise. The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is coming in November. What did you think of The Hunger Games movie franchise? Did you like the books? What did you think about how the movie fared when compared to the books? I know, typically, book readers aren't usually happy with how the movie adaptations are. That being said, The Hunger Games adaptation seems to be better than most.

Tom Hiddleston Talks About Loki Season 2 In An Interview Posted: 28 Apr 2022 07:43 PM PDT Tom Hiddleston talked about Loki Season 2 and other stuff in his interview with The Playlist. After the incredible ending of the first season, it left us with many questions. One was what happens to Sylvie at the end of time now that He Who Remains is gone. Another is how Loki fairs in this new reality where the TVA is ruled by Kang the Conqueror. Tom Hiddleston gave us some answers but left a lot for us to speculate about regarding the story for season 2. Loki Has Been A Hit For MarvelParticularly, the most widely praised Marvel show on Disney+ up until now is also their most famous based on third-party tracking services. That’s nearly as popular as another Emmy winner, “The Mandalorian.” Tom Hiddleston, who got nominated for an Emmy in the past for his role in The Night Manager, demonstrates the kind of acting spectrum that the Television Academy’s acting branch values. It also helps that he possesses some brilliant co-stars to exchange information and ideas with, including Owen Wilson (who plays a worker at the TVA, Mobius), Jonathan Majors (playing the conniving He Who Remains), Gugu Mbatha-Raw (as a deceived time agency officer), and Sophia Di Martino (as Sylvie, a female Loki variant on the path of vengeance). What Did Tom Hiddleston Say?The chemistry between Hiddleston and Wilson undoubtedly serves as one element of the tv show that distinguishes it from other MCU TV productions up until now. Hiddleston recounted Wilson going to ask him about his decade-long path as the Norse god in an interview seven days ago.
When asked about coming back for season 2, Hiddleston responded,
Where The Character Loki Comes FromThe character Loki comes from Marvel Comics as the brother and antagonist of Thor. Loki originally became a part of the MCU in the first Thor movie as a villain. From there, the character appeared as the chief antagonist in Marvel's Avengers. There, Tom Hiddleston and the character became a fan favorite for his funny and charismatic rendition. Since then, his character has gone from strength to strength both in writing and popularity. Tom Hiddleston has definitely embraced the role, with many people remembering that exceptional Comic-Con appearance with the Loki costume. With Loki season 2 in the works, we wonder what is in store for us. One thing that's for sure is that we definitely won't feel bored. There are so many ways the story could go, keeping fans excited. Everyone is glad to see the likes of Sylvie, Mobius, and the titular Loki back again to battle Kang. What do you think about Loki? Did you like it or was it not to your liking? And what would you like to see in season 2? What other MCU TV shows did you get the chance to see?

New Jurassic World Dominion Trailer Reveals One Last Adventure Posted: 28 Apr 2022 04:23 PM PDT A new Jurassic World Dominion trailer was released today. This film will put an end to the whole story. The new trailer shows the characters from the Jurassic World saga, plus other familiar faces that we have not seen in this franchise for a long time. In the trailer, we see that the situation changes and that humans adapt to living among dinosaurs. However, people of power want to take advantage of this to obtain benefits, and as always, they complicate things. That makes the scenario chaotic, and the confrontation to determine the dominant species on the planet begins. The trailer lasts approximately 2 minutes, although the movie will be almost 3 hours long. Jurassic World Dominion will be the most extended production ever created in the franchise, including Jurassic Park and Jurassic World: Evolution. This new trailer has left us with an opener, quite a good one; let’s see what else it has for us. New Jurassic World Dominion TrailerIn the new trailer, we see our Jurassic World heroes in a small cabin, isolated, living in the wild. They coexist with the velociraptor Blue, who surprisingly has a baby. In other words, the dinosaurs have once again found a way to reproduce. Then, we see how a group kidnaps Blue’s daughter to use her DNA to control the dinosaurs, as in the previous movie. However, as always, the dinosaurs do not allow themselves to be dominated and cause chaos worldwide. That includes land, air, sea, and in every possible scenario. The film stars are fighting all kinds of dinosaurs, including a genetically created one, which makes the T-Rex look pretty harmless. What will be the outcome of this new adventure? Who will win in this fight between dinosaurs and humans? Well, we’ll have to wait for the premiere to find out. Details From the Cast and the MovieIn the movie, we can see the familiar characters from Jurassic World. However, we have several inclusions of new characters in this trilogy who are well-known in this franchise. We are referring to Drs. Alan Grant, Ian Malcolm, and Ellie Sattler. Yes, the characters from Jurassic Park will also appear in this film for a nostalgic touch. The film will take place in different scenarios, showing how dinosaurs reproduce and how their fight against man begins. New dinosaurs redefine the words “terrifying” and “wild.” This new Jurassic World Dominion trailer shows complexity and lots of action to say goodbye to this franchise.
Derek Connolly, Frank Marshall, and Patrick Crowley are in charge of the film’s production. As for the cast, we have the original actors from Jurassic Park, that is to say, Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum, and Laura Dern. We will also see the performances of Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, and DeWanda Wise as the main characters of this movie. Along with them, performances by Daniella Pineda, Justice Smith, Campbell Scott, BD Wong, Omar Sy, and Mamoudou Athie. As we can see, this saga’s finale will be fantastic, given what we saw in the trailer. This movie will bring the characters from the current saga and the previous one to a close. It will be released on June 10th to give all fans an incredible finale. Surely you will not want to miss the end of this story, do you?

Umbrella Academy Comic Returns for Free Comic Book Day Posted: 28 Apr 2022 11:29 AM PDT Fans of the Umbrella Academy comic will only have to wait a little longer. Dark Horse Comic is releasing a surprise gift as part of their Free Comic Book Day celebrations. This free present comes thanks to illustrator Gabriel Bá and others. Unfortunately, neither Dark Horse nor Gabriel Bá revealed any further details. The Hargreeves family’s further adventures remain a mystery. We don’t know anything about the plot. The official Twitter account for the Umbrella Academy comic broke the exciting news. Gerard Way created the series in 2007, alongside illustrator Gabriel Bá. It’s not clear if the new gift is written by Way as well. However, we can presume that it probably is. The History of the Umbrella Academy ComicThe Umbrella Academy comic series is no stranger to Free Comic Book Day gifts. In 2007, Dark Horse gave a re-release of a preview story to the series as a gift. This was titled “…But the Past Ain’t Through With You.” This present originally appeared on the Dark Website before the first issue was out. Dark Horse has been in control of the series since its first release. The first edition of the Umbrella Academy comic was titled “The Umbrella Academy: Apocalpyse Suite.” Fans soon fell in love with the series. So, it comes as no surprise that the series won an Eisner Award the following year. Naturally, a sequel series, titled “The Umbrella Academy: Dallas,” came out in 2008. Unfortunately, fans had to wait a little longer for the next edition in the series. It was just under ten years before anything came out! The third volume, titled The Hotel Academy: Hotel Oblivion, did not release until 2018. In the meantime, Dark Horse Comics released a short story called “Anywhere But Here” on their MySpace. The Next Edition?Thankfully, Gerard Way announced the next issue of the Umbrella Academy comic series back in 2020. It will be titled “The Umbrella Academy: Sparrow Academy.” Sadly, not much other news has come out about the series since. We are still eagerly awaiting a release date. Hopefully, the latest Free Comic Book Day gift of the Umbrella Academy comic will give us some more news. It’s possible that this new comic will be part of a spin-off. After all, Dark Horse Comics has already released a spin-off. This was called Tales from the Umbrella Academy. This included a miniseries called You Look Like Death. It also had a one-shot title, “Hazel and Cha-Cha Save Christmas.” So, this free gift may be a continuation of this, or it could be something else entirely. The Umbrella Academy Comic Comes to ScreenHowever, the new Umbrella Academy TV series is one of the reasons for the delay. The first series of the Netflix adaptation came out in 2019. It was a hit with fans all over the world. So, Netflix naturally followed this with a second series in 2020. The newest season is set to release on June 22nd of this year. This came following delays due to the COVID pandemic. This latest season will focus on the Hargreeves family meeting the spooky Sparrow Academy. So, fans can expect a lot of drama in the process! The official synopsis for the latest series teases “a violent face-off that turns out to be the least of everyone's concerns.” It also mentions “an unidentified destructive entity” that causes danger. Whatever happens, we can expect plenty of hijinks from the Hargreeves family. This will be on paper and on-screen. You can catch the latest edition of the Umbrella Academy comic on May 7th. Series 3 of the television adaptation comes out via Netflix on June 22nd. Umbrella Academy Comic Returns for Free Comic Book Day |
Chrishell Stause calls Christine Quinn out for lying following Selling Sunset Reunion Posted: 28 Apr 2022 09:43 AM PDT Chrishell Stause accuses Christine Quinn of lying about her reason for being absent at “Selling Sunset” Reunion.It seems like the feud between Selling Sunset stars Chrishell Stause and Christine Quinn is nowhere close to ending after Quinn was accused of being dishonest to everyone on why she missed the show’s reunion. It would be recalled that the actress’s rep had informed page six on Tuesday that her boss had tested positive for Covid-19, citing it as the reason why she missed the reunion taping for fear of spreading the disease to the cast and crew. Chrishell has now sensationally come out to accuse Christine of lying about skipping the show by tweeting a GIF of TV host Maury Povich uttering his signature line ” The lie detector test has determined that was a lie”. This was in response to news of Quinn doing a photoshoot with “Real housewives of New Jersey” star Melissa Gorga the same day despite claiming to have contracted the virus.
To worsen the case, Amanza Smith, Selling Sunset co-star filmed the episode via zoom despite battling with the virus. When Quinn’s rep received questions on why her boss did not opt for the same option, she was unable to give an answer. The reason for Quinn’s deliberate absence does not seem far-fetched. The 33 year old actress was recently at the center of a lot of drama on the hit Netflix series after falling out with several cast members, Chrishell included. That might have put her in a really tough spot. This would explain why she opted out of gracing the reunion. Chrishell’s assumption garnered different responses with some fans in agreement with her and some others with a different view. One of the fans tweeted “She should not be allowed to film future shows. End of the story”. Another said “That Covid test is like the 11 fakes thing on that chick” Among those who didn’t agree with the assumption was a fan who tweeted a GiF from “Law & Order: SVU” which read “How about we don’t jump to conclusions?” She pointed out the possibility of Quinn’s symptoms starting even before the positive test result. Selling Sunset stars Chrishell Stause and Christine Quinn FeudThe pair have had a long line of issues between each other for a long time. From once being cordial with each other, the relationship has a taken a toll for the worse. Their feud dates back to the finale of season 1. Christine labelled Chrishell “Fake” for questioning the authenticity of co-star Mary Fitzgerald’s relationship with Romain Bonnet. He has gone on to become Mary’s husband. Christine had called Chrishell “Shady and crazy” leading to Stause blocking her on all social media platforms. Chrishell most recently labelled Christine as someone that “really enjoys the drama” She also mentioned that they are probably not going to hang out anytime soon. The pair have admirably not allowed their personal issues to come between their professionalism during their time on Selling Sunset. It is safe to say they maintain a cordial work relationship although they are no longer friends. Christine has been mute on both Chrishell”s tweet and the allegations of intentionally missing the reunion. It is possible that she doesn’t consider it worth replying to due to their not so cordial relationship. Multiple requests have also been directed at Netflix for comments on Quinn’s Covid-19 diagnosis, and if she declined to appear at the reunion via zoom. Will her future on the show will take a hit due to her absence? Chrishell Stause calls Christine Quinn out for lying following Selling Sunset Reunion |
Super Nintendo World is Coming to Hollywood with Piranha Plants Posted: 28 Apr 2022 08:43 AM PDT After the huge success of its first theme park in Osaka Japan, Nintendo announced that it would open Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Hollywood. The latest video by Ethan Becker, a passionate theme park fan (thanks Theme Park Tribune!). It seems like the development of this new attraction is progressing well. You can see the completed pyramids in the desert area. But, perhaps, more importantly, you can see two Piranha plants, currently wrapped up to protect them. Piranha Plants Take Up Residence At Super Nintendo World In HollywoodBowser’s Castle looks great, with all three main towers installed. Although the park looks very similar to Japan’s, some aspects of the Hollywood theme park, such as the additions of the pyramids, will make it stand out from Osaka. Over the next few weeks and months, we’ll keep an eye on developments at the park. There is still some time before the park is complete, but Nintendo has set a “2023” opening window for customers. Unconfirmed rumors are circulating on Universal fan forums. We should be looking for materials to build a second attraction inside Mount Beanpole. These rumors suggest that it will be a flat ride. Officially, Super Nintendo World will only have the Mario Kart attraction when they open in 2023. There will be no interactive elements throughout. What did you think about the recent developments at Universal Studios Hollywood’s Super Nintendo World? Leave a comment to let us know what you think of the developments made at Universal Studios Hollywood Super Nintendo World. Super Nintendo World is Coming to Hollywood with Piranha Plants |

And Ben Schwartz, the Sonic the Hedgehog voice actor, was happy to celebrate. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is currently playing in theatersThe sequel features the return of the main actors Ben Schwartz, James Marsden, who voices the hedgehog, and Jim Carrey, who plays Dr. Robotnik, the iconic villain and scientist of the franchise.

Katy Perry’s Response to American Idol Contestant for Bringing up Her EX! Posted: 28 Apr 2022 07:14 AM PDT Katy Perry's Response to American Idol Contestant for Bringing up Her EX!When it comes to her role as a judge on American Idol, Katy Perry has proved over and over again that she can be humorous, even when she’s the subject of the joke herself. The 37 years old singer-songwriter, has hilariously addressed the issue of a contestant who sang John Mayer, her ex-boyfriend’s song in the Idols. This funny moment comes after the star split her pants on national television not long ago. Katy Perry gave a sarcastic comment when Noah Thompson, an American Idol candidate, sang "Heartbreak Warfare" by Mayer. As a judge in the competition, Katy advised Thompson to check information about her on Wikipedia to avoid such a situation in the future. The 37 years old songwriter said, "I feel like maybe you should Wikipedia me." The participant had no clue that she used to be in a relationship with John Mayer, which resulted in a very awkward situation! On the episode featuring the Top 11 performances, the participants had to pick between three songs chosen by the three judges. Fellow American Idol judge Luke Bryan did infact choose the song. He admitted by raising his hands while he stood up. Katy joked, “Who’s going to pay for my additional hour of therapy?” After she jokingly claimed that she was “triggered”. She also jokingly tripped to the floor, expressing how she felt. Perry agreed that Thompson’s rendition of the song was excellent. She admitted that notwithstanding her past with John, he makes lovely music. She told Noah, “Honestly, you sounded great.” “It’s a great song.” On Idol, Thompson was one of 10 candidates that advanced to the following round. Katy Perry and John Mayer relationshipPerry and John Mayer were publicly together from 2012 to approximately 2015 (with a few breakups in between) . They appeared in several public events together, notably when Mayer stood by his then-girlfriend during her historic Super Bowl halftime show performance in 2015. They combined their musical talents, duetting on the tune “Who You Love,”. The former couple also co-wrote the song “Spiritual,” and created widespread conjecture that tracks on their individual albums were inspired by one another. Mayer has admitted that Perry served as the inspiration for at least one of his songs. He told The New York Times in 2017 that Katy’s song “Still Feel Like Your Man” had come from inspiration. Despite the history between the stars, the conversation was entirely in jest since Perry and Mayer seemed to have ended on good terms after it all. John, in particular, shares about their formal relationship from time to time. In 2021, he even referred to himself as the “first gentleman of Katy Perry” on “Radio Andy.” He also stated that he has no negative feelings toward his ex-girlfriends.

Elden Ring Datamine Video Sheds Further Light On Those Mysterious Colosseums Posted: 28 Apr 2022 04:07 AM PDT One of the numerous mysteries discovered throughout Elden Ring is the function of the strange coliseums dispersed around the Lands Between, which players are still puzzled about nearly two months after the game’s release. They wonder about New Elden Ring Datamine Video Sheds Further Light On Those Mysterious Colosseums. However, a data miner recently unearths information hidden in the game’s files that throw further insight into these venues; as well as about what might is useful in it before the whole idea is perhaps eliminated from the game. Elden Ring Datamine Video ShedsA new look inside the Lands Between’s conspicuously locked colosseum doors has shown more of what creator From Software may have had planned for the now inactive structures during construction. One data miner determined that Elden Ring’s coliseums may be more PVE than PVP after combing through the game’s files with the assistance of a map editor. Elden Ring gamers will be familiar with three massive colosseums on the map; one just beyond Stormveil Bridge, another jutting out from Caelid’s shoreline, and a third high above Lyndell, Royal Capital. Almost everything the Tarnish may see in the Lands Between and you can explore at some point during their trip. The coliseums at Limgrave, Caelid, and Lyndell are among the most notable exceptions to this rule. Since the game’s debut at the end of February, players have speculated about their function; with some fans speculating that these locations would have a PVP focus and release as DLC. McDonald emerged in a spacious arena overlooking a gorgeously depicted viewing area after exploring a series of convoluted corridors beyond one of the colosseum’s closing walls. While some assume that the arenas are for PvP play at some time in the future; a new investigation has shown that there may be more to it. Colosseum Leindell Guide By SekiroElden Ring data miner Sekiro Dubi recreated the area as planned using a DS Map Studio map editor and connections to the Lindell Colosseum files; uncovering a few additional surprises along the way. You can find the Place of Grace in a torch-lit passage which is rather oddly familiar with the “bonfire return point” in the game; Maybe you don’t know that Leindell’s Colosseum is definitely a plan area this is a prominent destination at one point that you can find directly outside the building’s main door. The player can next go along meandering passages to the arena proper, where Sekiro Doubi has uncovered two unused foes. It’s unclear what are their actual roles, but on basis of their titles; Grand Gladiator and Old Lion of the Arena. They fight at some time; either against one another or against the player, by taking two elevators up on opposite ends of the square. These areas may also appear in a DLC set before the events of Elden Ring, according to Sekiro Dubi. This would be nothing new for the developer and would follow in the footsteps of the Artorias of the Abyss DLC from the original Dark Souls. That, too, had a significant coliseum setting, which you can use occasionally for PVP fighting; but not necessarily in an official capacity. Elden Ring’s mysterious coliseums are massive, taking up substantial space on an already densely inhabited landscape. With this in mind, it seems odd that they leave it in the game without a function. This was a discussion about New Elden Ring Datamine Video Sheds Further Light On Those Mysterious Colosseums. While no DLC has been revealed as of yet; considering From Software’s track record; players can expect them to engage in some way. However, if Sekiro Dubi’s discoveries are any indication of how they can use them; the developer will be venturing into unexplored terrain.
